I Believe I Can Fly

Have you guys seen this astounding trailer for I Believe I Can Fly, a 40-minute documentary about a group of insane French guys? They created "skylining," a new European sport that combines tightrope walking, slacklining and base jumping. They walk tightropes across skyscrapers in Paris, gorges in southern France and fjords in Norway. They do cartwheels right off mountains. They're caught by safety ropes or parachutes--although at the end, one guy does a spine-tingling "solo" without any safety equipment, just himself, balancing on a one-inch rope. YIKES!

Don't think they invented skylining. American rock climber Dean Potter has been combining slacklining and base jumling, as well as slack lining and free soloing for a couple years. There's a film out about his craziness too!

haha that's really creazy! I'm living in the mountainous region of France: French Alps, and you know what, when monday comes, the only things that these French dudes talk is the VTT (mountain biking), skiing (if there is snow), hiking, jogging, climbing, jumping and bunch of mountain related sports lol after I had the opportunity to go to the Alps a few times for hiking, I understood them better, the Alps are amazingly beautiful, they are born into this life style...

thanks for sharing Joanna! here's a promotial video for Nordhordaland (a part of Norway) that my director-friend just made. It is hillarious and has some amazing natur in there too! I hope you like it (and care to share it with others!) http://www.gadling.com/2011/11/14/video-of-the-day-from-nordhordland-with-love/

Good gracious, my heart was in my throat just watching this! I can't stand heights, I'd be a wreck just being that high up on the mountain! These men are so brave, and this documentary looks amazing. (:

Watching this is getting all the adrenaline pumping through me. I'd love to try something like this sometime, though a little less extreme perhaps. But, wow, the view up among all that fog is just incredible
